Doggie Door Decor

Doggie Door Decor

Displaying a simple collection of similar objects is one of the easiest ways to fill space and create a stylized vignette on tabletops, mantels, and bookshelves. "And dog collectibles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials," says designer Kelley Motschenbacher, whose house we recently featured. "Each one has a different look and a unique personality that I find them hard to resist." This trio on the mantel is actually a collection of metal dog doorstops, "and add a hint of quirkiness" to the living room.

A Fetching Pillow

A Fetching Pillow

House of Earnest design blogger Erin Souder has an affinity for throw pillows and her schnauzer, Perry. Souder wanted to incorporate a touch of humor in her clean, neutral living room, and she aimed to do it in a classic way. She created this silhouette-stitched design of her favorite pooch on an open-weave pillow cover. With a bit of crochet yarn, a darning needle, and a printed pattern, Souder fashioned this timeless throw pillow in 30 minutes (while watching Downton Abbey, in fact).
